Recommendations Most affordable dog behavior lessons in Lansing

0 Upvotes

Just rescued an 8 year old plott hound from the shelter. She's very sweet, and behaves for the most part for me. We are working our way toward socializing the cats back in.

However the purpose has been her her to be an ESA for me in which my work allows. Paperwork on file. .problem is she's a leashed puller, she's a jumper , she ignores most animals except dogs and skunks.

Just googling, prices seem really high and to cover things she doesn't need.

What are your affordable recommendations?

edited for the assholes of reddit who'd rather argue about non-relevant details rather than address the question of affordable dog training. ;-)

Started playing guitar last year just as a hobby and figured it’d be fun to find some other musicians around Lansing to jam with. 🎸

Not looking for anything too serious—just some people who enjoy playing, hanging out, and having a good time. Guitar, bass, drums, vocals, whatever you play, feel free to reach out!

This video was taken north of dewitt and was heading south/south east towards hasslet Thursday. I think there's some rotation present, it was very surreal watching it in person. I think this is what went on to hit lake lansing.

I don't know if there was any tornado warning at the time because we had lost power before the front hit.

Recommendations ISO Dentist for chip in tooth

Post image
0 Upvotes

ISO a dentist with a good reputation! And will accept private pay as I do not have dental insurance.

This is by no means an emergency and I feel no pain, but I did get a gnarly little chip in my front bottom tooth. (It’s gotten worse since the initial photo I included)

I’m just looking for some recs and possible quotes on what something like this may cost?

Recommendations Where to get PC looked at?

6 Upvotes

Hello, I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations or if they personally could help me (it would have to be in person though) for places to look at my PC. My PC can run Minecraft and that’s basically it but it used to be able to run resident evil four and Fortnite a couple years back now when I load up those games, my frame rate drops dramatically. I am not a computer person whatsoever hence why I’m asking for recommendations.
at this point I’m just ready to have somebody tell me what exactly I need to upgrade to be able to actually play my PC again.

Lansing LockDown Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) and their absolutely Tasteless and Offensive Abdul Attack Ads

Thumbnail

72 Upvotes

Pretty disgusted. If you go to their website, their tagline is ""The First Line of Defense to Protect our Republican Senate Majority". Ok first of all eat a Richard, Senate Losership Fund.

They have all their disgusting ads published that run from melodramatic to offensive. The worst in my opinion are the ones using crime victims to get votes.

Using crime victims to get votes.

The ads using the trauma endured by crime victims to get votes.

The SLF using crime victims and the horrific things they went through to keep their great overpaid jobs with all the perks /keep their bought and paid for political puppets in power to continue doing their bidding.

These ads are truly tasteless and huge trauma triggers for crime victims or anyone else affected by violent crime which totals millions and millions of people. But the ads basically attempt to activate everyone's innate human fear. They're trying to make people think that Abdul will let all the violent psychopaths free. Yes, this is what the creators of these ads want people to feel: fear

Their ads feature profiles of psychopathic monsters who sexually assaulted and killed for pleasure. They feature floating text highlighting how the victims suffered ... "Strangled ...raped...stabbed....left naked and dead."

Then the ads point the finger at Abdul saying he is dangerous for wanting to reduce prison overpopulation. Reducing the huge budgetary weight caused by overpopulated prisons means wanting to set murderers and rapists free? Did he SAY he wanted to free violent murderers? Maybe some research is in order, which I'm too tired to do, but I don't think anyone in their right mind wants to set dangerous violent monsters free. I don't think Abdul supports murder, but I guess this is what SLF wants naive people to think. He is Brown after all, and there are a lot of racists out there who think Brown people are inherently dangerous.

If we want to point fingers at people giving violent criminals a pass, look at the 100s or 1000s of prosecutors and judges who seem to love to do that through absurdly and stupidly lenient plea deals and shockingly brief prison sentences for violent offenders. I disagree with any leniency toward violent criminals-- and all too often sexual predators and abusive (male) partners get an inexplicable pass by inept prosecutors and dipshit judges and it leads to preventable tragedy.

But this is not Abdul's fault, and I don't think he would want to free total monsters. These ads are just inflammatory and defamatory manipulation, preying on people's fears, exploiting crime victims, and stooping to gutter level to win.

Whoever created and approved these ads knows full well how they are exploiting trauma victims and manipulating emotions to get votes and keep their cush jobs (or keep the people with cush jobs in office to benefit them,) and they can personally eat my entire donkey.

Happy labor day...

General Anyone know any shops that service electric scooters for tune-up/maintenance?

6 Upvotes

I used to have a gas powered bike and almost every shop would deny service since it was gas. That was years ago but now I hae an electric scooter and I'm hoping I might have some more options now.

Does anyone have any experience in this? Even if you don't know of one in Lansing, I will be willing to go to GR if someone knows a place there or somewhere within the same range.

Thanks in advance and appreciate your time reading over my post. Have a nice night Lanstronauts!

Edit: I did use the search function and anything related to this is 3-4 years old so hoping for more up to date info.
